I have a new computer. How do I get my music from Itunes to show up on this new computer.  I have downloaded apple and can go to itunes store. I am worried that when I hook up my Ipod to the comp. and it's sync. it will wipe all my music from the Ipod off

Please help me find my music I have purchased from Itunes.  I have a new computer and my library is empty. I have it all on my Ipod but I'm affraid if I plug it in the comp. it will sync. and wipe out my Ipod music. Thanks for what help I can get.

You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

  • How do i get my music from ipod onto new computer when old computer died

    my old computer died unexpectedly and now i have a new one ...how do i get my music from ipod to itunes...i don't want to lose it since i have already paid for it...

    1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • I have my itunes account that was created on an old computer i have bought a new one and when i try and sync my phone it says it will update it with the library that is in my new computer which isn't any music. how do i get my music on the new computer?

    I have my iphone that i linked with my old computer. I have since bought a new computer and when i log into my itunes account my music is not there. it is under my phone name but if i try and edit the playlist or create a cd off of my music list nothing happens.

    thanks

    First try this:
    - Go on iTunes computer
    - plug in the iPod
    - authorize your device from store/authorize
    - iPod / transfer from iPod by right clicking on the left pane
    This will only transfer iTunes purchased music, not ripped CDs. and it is unnecessary now, as the music can just be downloaded from the cloud.

    How do I get my library from my phone to my new computer? I no longer have access to the old computer and when I try to sync my music, it says it will erase everything on my phone. My itunes library is not showing up when I sign into the new computer. Its not even showing any downloads.

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone:  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • HT1386 How do I get my music from cd's that is on my ipod to my library in itunes?  Got a new computer, thought icloud would help but it has erased anything is not purchased from my library.

    How do I get my music from cd's that is on my opod to my library in itunes?  I got a new computer, installed itunes and thought syncing would work.  It only synced purchases.  Any music I had from cd's is not in my library anymore.  Then I turned on the cloud and it erased those tracks from my other computer as well.  Help please.

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

    If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for information.

  • I recently had my computer redone and had to redownload itunes on my computer and when I synced my ipod none of my music went into my library.  How do I get my music that is on my ipod into my library on itunes?

    I recently had my computer redone and had to redownload itunes on my computer and when I synced my ipod none of my music went into my library.  How do I get my music that is on my ipod into my library on itunes?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone .  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • I am new to this. How do I get my movie from my computer to the tv. I have apple tv.  I am really dumb when it comes to this stuff.

    I am new to this. How do I get my movie from my computer to the tv. I also have apple tv.

    In iTunes turn on homesharing.
    On your ATV turn on homesharing.
    The ATV should then see your computer as long as you enter the same id on both machines.
    Your content should then appear under the computer setting on the ATV, then watch away...

  • HT1351 I recently had my hard drive wiped out by a virus and had to reinstall windows and itunes. When i hooked up my ipod it didnt automatically sync my songs on my ipod with the library. How do I do this manually?

    I recently had my hard drive wiped out by a virus and had to reinstall windows and itunes. When I hooked up my ipod it did not transfer my songs from my ipod to my itunes library. How do I do this?

    iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchsed from the iTunes Store).
    However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.  (Going forward, you should use a backup strategy, and include your iTunes data in what gets backed up.  Then, you would be able to recover your complete iTunes library, including things like playlists and ratings.)
